Tobacco volume sales in Russia continue to fall but value sales increase as a result of rising taxation

The Russian tobacco industry continued to shrink in retail volume terms in 2018, while value sales in current terms increased, primarily due to a further rise in taxation.

Heated tobacco products continues to grow rapidly

The best performing category in percentage value growth terms in 2018 was once again heated tobacco products, with these having been introduced in Russia in 2014 by Philip Morris, which launched its Iqos tobacco heating device and HEETS heated tobacco sticks. The category then witnessed the entry of British American Tobacco in 2017 with its Glo and Neo Sticks brands.

JTI Russia further grows its volume share following the acquisition of Donskoy Tabak

The competitive landscape in cigarettes remained concentrated in 2018, with the vast majority of volume sales in the hands of four multinationals, namely JTI Russia, Philip Morris International, British American Tobacco and Imperial Tobacco Sales & Marketing. The leader, JTI Russia, further strengthened its position in 2018 following the acquisition of Donskoy Tabak.

Grocery retailers continue to dominate cigarette distribution

Although modern grocery outlets are growing in number in Russia and subsequently increasing their share of cigarette sales, particularly supermarkets, traditional independent small grocers remained the leading channel in 2018, while tobacco specialists continued to lead cigars and cigarillos and smoking tobacco. One of the most noticeable trends in terms of distribution has been the growing popularity of food/drink specialists, with this being spearheaded by the Krasnoe i Beloe retail chain.

Tobacco retail volume sales set to fall further over the forecast period but strong value growth predicted for heated tobacco products

Increasing excise taxes and a strong regulatory framework aimed at reducing smoking will continue to negatively impact the Russian tobacco market over the forecast period. This will particularly affect cigarettes, along with rising illicit trade and a further decline in smoking prevalence, with cigars and cigarillos and smoking tobacco also set to continue to struggle.
